▶ Your Answer : The reading passage contends that there are three theories that explain the cause of the Little Ice Age. On the other hand, the lecture brings up some points that contradict this argument. To begin with the lecture contends that the number of sunspots and solar radiation are not related. Recently, experts observed that when sunspots diminished, solar radiation did not reduce. This means that there is no clear link between sunspots and solar radiation. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that decreased number of sunspots indicates the dwindling solar radiation. Furthermore according to the lecture, volcano is not a factor which made the Earth cooler between 14th century and 19th century. Although thick dust and ash were thrown into the atmosphere which prevents prevented solar radiation for heating the Earth, it does not took take a long time to be cleared. However, the Little Ice Age had sustained for a long time so dust and ash from the volcano are not responsible for the Little Ice Age. This counters the author’s assertion that volcanic activities created dust and ash which resulted in the Little Ice Age. The final point made by the lecture is that the Little Ice Age resulted from the Earth’s reflectivity. Not only glaciers and snow cover, but also cloud reflect sunlight which they receive. At that time, the amount of cloud was small so water evaporated less. At the same time, there was large amount of snow cover. As a result, the increase of reflectivity was not significant. This debunk the reading passage’s argument that reflectivity was enormous and this made temperature of the Earth go down which led to the Liitle Ice Age.
